The working principle of the circuit is that when the connected fault diagnosis device works normally, the fault diagnosis device obtains electric energy through one-time cable energy taking. The energy-taking mutual inductor (CT) monitors the working current of the primary cable, and rectifies an alternating current signal through a diode D1 and forms a direct current signal after filtering through a capacitor C1. In order to ensure the filtering effect of the capacitor, the resistors R1 and R2 are generally selected to have larger resistance values, and the voltage V-obtained by dividing the voltage of the capacitor enters the negative input ends of the comparators U1A, U1B and U1C. The charging current of the lithium battery needs to follow the magnitude of the energy taking power, in order to judge the condition of the energy taking power, threshold voltages Vref1, Vref2 and Vref3 are connected to the positive input ends of comparators U1A, U1B and U1C, the threshold voltages are obtained by VCC through voltage dividing resistors, a high-precision reference voltage source is not needed, and Vref1> Vref2> Vref3 are provided. The output of the comparator circuit 12 is specifically described as follows:
when no energy taking power exists, V is equal to 0, Out1 is equal to 1, Out2 is equal to 1, and Out3 is equal to 1;
when the energy-taking power is very low, V- < Vref3, Out1 equals 1, Out2 equals 1, and Out3 equals 1;
when the energy taking power is high, Vref3< V- < Vref2, Out1 is 0, Out2 is 1, and Out3 is 1;
when the energy-taking power is higher, Vref2< V- < Vref1, Out1 is 0, Out2 is 0, and Out3 is 1;
when the energy-taking power is very sufficient, Vref1< V-, Out1 equals 0, Out2 equals 0, and Out3 equals 0.
The output terminals of the comparators U1A, U1B and U1C pass through pull-down resistors R10, R12 and R14 respectively to avoid uncertainty of the output signals Out1, Out2 and Out 3. Out1, Out2 and Out3 respectively control the on and off of the triodes Q1, Q2 and Q3, and determine whether R16, R17 and R18 are connected with R19 in parallel, so as to generate different Iref voltage outputs. When Out1 is equal to 1, Out2 is equal to 1, and Out3 is equal to 1, Q1, Q2 and Q3 are conducted, R16, R17, R18 and R19 resistors form a parallel relation, and are connected with R15 in series, and the obtained voltage division value of Iref is very low. Iref is amplified by the filter capacitor C2 and the operational amplifier U2 to serve as a current reference signal of the lithium battery charging circuit. The outputs of Out and the rest of the combinations are analogized in turn. When the energy-taking power is sufficient, the Out output is 0, Q1, Q2 and Q3 are all closed, at the moment, Iref is obtained through voltage division of R15 and R19, the amplitude is maximum, the Iref is used as a current reference to supply the charging circuit, and at the moment, the lithium battery is rapidly charged according to the maximum charging current.
The embodiment is applied to an outdoor fault diagnosis device for self-powered electricity, the current energy-taking power is determined by detecting the working current at the primary side, and the system CPU determines whether to charge and maintain the lithium battery according to the current battery condition, the current device energy-taking power condition, the environmental condition and other factors. In the charging process, the circuit monitors the energy taking current of the current device in real time, uninterruptedly and instantaneously adjusts the charging current of the lithium battery, and the normal working power of the device is also ensured while the charging of the battery is ensured as much as possible, so that the device can normally operate. During the charging process, when the charging is completed or the condition for continuing the charging cannot be satisfied because of other reasons such as the ambient temperature, the device CPU issues a related control function for stopping the charging. For the lithium battery, under the condition that the energy taking power is normal, the CPU sends a battery maintenance instruction to charge the battery, and when the battery voltage reaches 8.4V and the charging current is less than 10mA, the CPU sends a charging stopping instruction, and the system finishes the lithium battery charging maintenance work. In the charging process, the device detects the current energy taking power of the device in real time, and determines the current charging current according to the energy taking power: when the energy taking current is lower than 15A, the charging current is 0 mA; when the energy taking current is not more than 20A, the charging current is 50 mA; when the energy taking current is 20-30A, the charging current is 100 mA; in other cases, the maximum charging current of the lithium battery is 300 mA.
